My sensitive plant because I bought it at the county fair and it was bounced around in a paper bag while I walked around and in the car until it got home.

Definitely my alocasia polly and black velvet They both started cycling leaves so i moved them to leca and polly has 3 leaves and gave me a massive one!! Velvette is slow going but she’s rooting really well so i have high hopes!

All the caletheas I ever tried to parent!🙄 They suck me in with their beautiful leaves and they always get crunchy! Rex begonia currently a close second but turning the corner.

They are pure drama 😂

Pink princess the 3rd and final time. She died like her ancestors. I refuse to buy any more!

Aww I'm sorry to hear so many have passed!

African violets...I have tried many times over the years. I fail every time.

They can be tricky!

My monstera!!!! I know they aren’t that sensitive but I had finally found one and did not want anything to happen to it!

#### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 replied on 2026-08-06

I wish it lots of health!
